I don't want to put too much into one game,but I do agree with just about all your comments.
Leon will have better shooting nights,but can't play the point or defend adequately.
Akeem's problems are a mystery...two seasons back most on the board,including myself, were touting him as our most gifted prospect.I hope he finds it.Not a good shooter,the run and defend open court game suits his athletic skills.
Hall will look better when the others learn to catch and finish.As I've said before ,although he is a pass first player,he mustn't overlook the open shot opportunities that affords him.
I also share you're guarded optimism on Costner. He has improved and has a nose for the ball,but has to do a better job on his putbacks. To this point he reminds me frightfully of Sherrod Jones in that capacity.
More will be clearer after we travel to Staten Island and Beantown.

Right on the mark as usual Cindy.I like Hall as well shows flashes will have to develop some offense so that they can't constantly double on Wesley when he has the ball in his hands.
As to the other newcomers i too believe Mumphord probably doesnt play much if Lampley were here.He does have a decent shot limited handle.
Hill looks like a project but he is long and seems athletic running the floor.
Surprised Reid didn't play at all especially when Gooding was having a terrible game.
Per oldtimer Shumate a project as well. haven't seen him except in the stands so can't say much.
As to the returnees. Traore has improved abit but he still has so many shortcomings,no hands etc. Merits time but agree with Loyal not a MAAC starter on any upper half team.
Jenkins now has great slashing drive to the basket but couldn't hit his three point shot yesterday. He will be an all MAAC player.
Gooding a major dissapointment. Totally overmatched by a big physical Lehigh frontline and couldnt use his athleticism to compensate for the size differential. Pressing as much as we did should play to his strength but he had nothing yesterday.
Bacon i thought looked very good. Very athletic and aggressive inside easily our best big. imagine if he had another decent interior player to complement him. Hope Connolly makes it through the year academically.He was working security at the game great body on him.
Costner also really bttled but bottom line he's too small and too thin to play inside against many teams big men.Still overall he will definitely contribute a lot of minutes this year.
Leon looked terrible as well. couldn't hit shot,not a point as we all know and didn't dish well when he did dribble penetrate. will need vast improvement in the shooting for us to be competitive.
Overall looks like it will be another long cold winter in Jersey City for the faithfull.Hope that the easier schedule converts to more than 6 wins. Reaching 10 wins might be very tough with this reduced roster.
